Spring

I have just a few minutes, I'm guessing, before Anelise is awake and calling for me to come get her (she won't get out of bed on her own, which we think is a very good thing), so I thought I'd write a quick update.

We had a wonderful spring break trip.  It was so good to spend time with good friends, and we really did love spending time with both the Riedel family and the Bax family.  Our one night on our own in Niagara Falls was spectacular too.  Maybe if I have time I can even post a few pictures! 

Now I'm finally starting to realize that school is almost out for summer.  I can hardly believe how fast this school year has gone.  I say that every year, but, seriously, this year was something crazy.  Now it's time for field trips, and baseball, and summer planning!

The boys started baseball last week.  Jonathan is coaching both boys on separate teams.  Ethan's team (7-8) practices on Tuesday nights at 5:30, and Caleb's team (5-6) practices the same night at 6:30.  Technically for Caleb's team, Jonathan is assisting his friend and co-worker, Ryan, whose son is also on the team.  The boys' first games are a week from Saturday.  It worked out that there's only one week that their games are at the same time, and it just so happens that we'll be out of town that week. 

Our summer is already filling up.  In fact, we were invited to spend a week on the coast with friends (in Delaware) and we had to turn them down, because Jonathan does have to work some weeks this summer!  (I'm disappointed though, how fun would a week on the beach with friends be?!)  Between family cottages on both sides (Bakers in June, Ippels in August), camping trip(s), a 10-day trip for Jonathan to New Orleans with the youth group, and SpringHill day camp for the boys in July, our summer really is quite full already. 

I just went to upload some photos, and I can't find them.  I'll have to talk to my tech guy and post them later.  It's possible they're on his laptop but not our desktop.  I think that's the case.
